Synthetic aperture single-exposure on-axis digital holography.

We present a system for reconstructing single-exposure on-line (SEOL) digital holograms with improved resolution using a synthetic aperture. Several recordings are made in order to compose the synthetic aperture, shifting the camera within the hologram plane. After processing the synthetic hologram, an inverse Fresnel transformation provides an enhanced resolution reconstruction. We show that recognition capacity for high frequency details is increased. Experimental results with a test target and with a microscopic biological sample are presented. Both visualization and correlation results are reported.
